Brandon Dillon for State Representative

Michigan is at a crossroads. While our economy is starting to improve, our families are still struggling because of Republican politics as usual in Lansing. The corporate tax cuts they passed last year were paid for with drastic cuts to education, new taxes on senior citizens and the middle-class, and the elimination of tax deductions that working families relied on. It’s time to put the focus back on our workers and middle class families who have yet to see a single job created by special interest tax cuts.

As your State Representative, I have held true to the standards I set during my three years as Kent County Commissioner and voted against the corporate tax give-away and attempts to hurt workers by attacking collective bargaining rights.

The Republicans have proved again that Lansing is in desperate need of reform, and I am proud to have sponsored a bill in a package to do just that: eliminate the hold that big corporations and super-pacs have on the political process.

I will continue fighting to protect local jobs and create more good-paying jobs by attracting emerging industries and making Michigan the best place in the nation to start and grow a small business.

I will also work to make sure our schools have the resources they need to give our kids a world-class education. I have two kids of my own, and I'm committed to making sure that all of Michigan's children can succeed in life and compete for good-paying jobs. The Republican corporate tax cut stole nearly a billion dollars from our schools and my colleague and I won’t rest until that money is restored so that our kids have the book and classroom resources they need to learn and succeed.

I hope you’ll join me in my fight to turn Michigan around and make state government work again for people like us.
